Dear colleagues, especially those in Russia:
In 1995 Karen Shakhnazarov directed "Amerikanskaya doch'". On
"IMDB" and other web-sites there are a few blatant mistakes
in the list of actors (attached below), which should be corrected,
and which I'm willing to correct, if only I can learn accurate data.
Does anyone out there have access to some accurate source
which will indicate:
1. WHAT ROLE IS REALLY PLAYED BY ARMEN DZHIGARKHANIAN?
[ He is an old man, for heaven's sake, not a young woman! ]
2. WHAT ROLE IS REALLY PLAYED BY MARIIA SHUKSHINA? [It's not
"Annie," which role is actually played by the US teenager Whitbeck.]
2. WHAT ROLE IS PLAYED BY KARL-HEINZ TEUBER?
3. WHO REALLY PLAYS THE ROLE OF "POLICE OFFICER #4" [ It's not
the beautiful blonde Hollywood actress of the 1950s "Jean Wallace,"
who retired in 1970 and who died 5 years before this Russian film
was made! ]
With gratitude,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
